Bad Matchmaking Thread

Wraith nor seven do not deserve to be at this MMR. I killed seven in lane like 5 times and he seemingly didn't even know what my abilities did. Wraith did not appear to be archon, and probably deserve bottom 30% instead of top 30% rank.

Hugely 1 sided stomp and one player did 5.7k damage in a 27 minute game.

High range between Random and Flame Argonaus, absolute stomp.

Rolled in the beginning and end. Clearly an MMR Difference between our team and the other, especially the enemy Paradox. Could shut us down in multiple lanes.

Difference in skill gap between the team was very large. Constantly on the back foot. Our team got less than 10 kills in total. Huge soul gap once the game started rolling. Honestly a really bad match.

Complete dominace by the other side. 2 Guardians remaining on their side. They had the base at 15 minuets then toyed with us for the rest of the game. Worst game i have played in a long time. IMO the matchmaker is in the worst state i have seen it in a long time.

Team comps were completely unbalanced. We had 6 carries and they had 4 tanks + paradox and geist. extremely difficult to win in both lane and mid game which lead to a snowball where we literally couldn't win fights no matter how well we played. While skill levels didn't feel too different the matchmade team comps felt terrible to play around.

25569485: 30 minutes, one of our teammates was 0/5/7, another was 1/9/6. Lost from the very beginning.

Mostly ranked Emissary, however, it felt like the other team was worlds beyond sapphires ability level leaving us unable to make a single play that would allow us to get the upper hand or come back whatsoever.

Match was clearly unbalanced. One team was very good at farming and was clearly experienced. Bought items that boosted their specific characters well. Myself and my duo which are not in wide matchmaking had almost as much damage as our entire rest of our team combined. Our Abrams was clearly new to the game. Our Dynamo was trying his best but was underfarmed by over 15k souls at times. These are not necessarily issues alone but all together meant that by the end of the game our team was 50k souls behind. At no point was our team ever ahead in souls. We had one good teamfight but it took almost every ult we had to win it. We did mid boss but the team did not know how to capitalize on this. Hopefully this adds to the thread and some changes can be made.

Thanks so much for being cool Devs!!

Like seriously. How can we still not figure out proper match making for this game?

I'm sick and tired of this match making. My entire ranked gameplay experience has been miserable. It feels like I already know what to expect when I queue up, it's always three players who feed and three who are just okay.

Just the last 4 games i had this morning. I went from having 60-70% winrate with Mo and Krill to litterally not be able to win any games since the new patch. I switched character and its all the same. I'm just going to stop playing until it gets fixed as the game has become not enjoyable anymore.

This represents approx. 4 hours of consecutive game time. My group has suffered loss after loss with no respite. There is no swing in the other direction, just loss on loss to the point my friends want to quit, and I don't blame them, what is the draw to come back if this is what they can expect?

What is the point of loading deadlock if the matchmaking is so poor that this is a possibility. Before anyone comes in with a "gitgud", not like I can check these days because as of 24/10 third party tracking of match rating is blocked (wonder why), tracklock.gg had me at mystic or platinum neko score fairly recently which puts us at above average... or if deadlocktracker.gg is in any way accurate I am apparently a top 1% warden and top 5% grey talon, yet here I am now with a negative win rate and spending an entire night being miserable to the point of leaving this shit game forever.

This is now intolerable! What is happening here? Is it just a parade of smurf accounts gaming the system? Do you just not update MMR incrementally? Does anyone even read these posts or have you made this thread to just corner complaints into one convenient spot thats out of the way?

Losing continued over the 3rd consecutive day. All of my friends have now quit. Thanks so much.

I completed my ranked games the other day and it gave me the rank of Oracle III, which feels far too high and it really does not feel like I pull equal weight with my team. I am always bottom of the pile on the team I am on and feel bad for the team I get, as I always lag behind considerably on all stats, aside from assists, on occasion.

25604461 is one of the first games (non-ranked) I have played since getting Oracle III. This casual game I solo queued without friends to see how I'd get on. It remains very apparent that the match making system is broken and the weighting in the background for MMR is skewed. I am being repeatedly placed in games / matches with teams that are way out of my league. In the case of the above game, I was viscous, and bottom of the lobby along with Bebop on the opposing team. It was not fun to play, outside of a bit of early laning luck with Mirage, who was out performing me.

I appreciate that you wouldn't want to share the exact formulas for MMR calculation etc, but could we have some sort of feedback as to how MMR weighting and match making is being addressed? The fun factor of this game is starting to wear thin with how unpredictable it is. It feels as if a balanced game where contribution to the team feels equal with team mates and which isn't a total stomp in either direction is somewhat a rarity.

Unranked, complete curb stomp. 50k souls advantage 18 minutes in.

3 reports from a stack in an unranked game you shit on is enough to get you banned from ranked for a week.

Correction, i just got my first voice restriction for a day for talking back to a trashtalker. I really said all i wanted and not regret it, but the restriction is only a day. So no, you don't get a week off right away, only if you offend consistently. Consider this tested i guess lol.

It starts at 2 days. It doubles each time. 4 days is enough to knock you out of ranked for a week.

again a garbage matching , where my team played like its a casual match and enemies playing like they r in a party.
No wonder why active players are going down day by day
